A Computer-Aided Design and Synthesis Environment for Analog Integrated Circuits

In the first part the AMGIE analog synthesis system is described. AMGIE is the first analog synthesis system that automates the full design process from specifications down to verified layout. It is targeted to the design of moderate—complexity circuits. It relies on design and circuit knowledge stored in the tool's libraries and can be used by both novice and experienced analog designers as well as system—level designers. The inner workings are explained in detail, with (practical) example...
